language
Quick Summary
Montenegrin is the official language of Montenegro. It is a South Slavic language, mutually intelligible with Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian. While historically considered part of Serbo-Croatian, many Montenegrins advocate for its recognition as a distinct language due to unique pronunciation and vocabulary differences, as well as a desire to emphasize their national identity separate from Serbia. Both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets are used for Montenegrin.123
